OH, WHAT A FEELING!
BY NEIL PIERSON npierson@sammamishreview.com
In the Chinook language, Sahalee means “high heavenly ground,” and these days, those words might refer as much to the country club’s stature in the golfing world as it does to its location on the Sammamish plateau. Sahalee Country Club is hosted the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship last week, its fourth professional championship tournament since 1998. Jim Pike, who has worked at Sahalee for the last 29 years, including the past four as general manager, said the process of making the course ready for the world’s best players and a worldwide television audience was difficult. To him, though, it’s similar to riding a bicycle. “I think now that it’s the fourth time, you get used to it,” Pike said. “Four doesn’t seem like that many, but you kind of get used to really what’s needed, the hours you’re going to have to work and the dedication. “Once you have the experience, it just makes it a little easier.” When Sahalee hosted its first major tournament — the 1998 PGA Championship — Pike was still relatively new, having served one year as the head pro. He admitted being nervous at the time, feelings that were soothed by the PGA of America’s expertise. “Back then, our job was to rally the membership to support it,” Pike said. “And I think the great thing about Sahalee is that most of the members have SEE SAHALEE, PAGE 6

Tent City 4 moves back to High Point BY STUART MILLER For the Sammamish Review
Tent City 4 is expected to stay at its new temporary home off Interstate 90’s High Point Way exit for about 20 more days while it waits for a land-use permit to go through. The group left Mary, Queen of Peace Catholic Church in Sammamish on June 4 after a 120-day stay there. The permit for its next 90-day home at Temple B’nai Torah in Bellevue is still in the review process. The group’s 23-person encampment at High Point Way lacks many of the comforts it had at MQP Church, resident and bookkeeper Trey Nuzum said. The residents had electricity at their old spot, whereas now they rely on
gasoline-powered generators for any electrical needs. They had showers before, but now must make a long trip into Issaquah to get one. It takes about an hour and 15 minutes to walk into Issaquah from the encampment, Nuzum said. Many camp residents make the walk, or take a bus that comes every two to twoand-a-half hours, to get to the nearest shower at the Issaquah Community Center. SEE TENT CITY 4, PAGE 2
Southeast Fourth Street to close for three weeks Commuters who travel on Southeast Fourth Street will have to find a detour next month. The city announced last week the road will close for three weeks in July as developer TRF Pacific installs new water and sewer mains under the street. After taking the steep slope of the roadway and the depth of the sewer main into account, it was decided the safest — and quickest — way to get the job done would be to close the street for about three weeks, according to a

city press release. The street is scheduled to close on July 5 or shortly thereafter. “Sometimes a road can stay open while this kind of work is done,” City Manager Lyman Howard said in a statement. “But that often requires the temporary installation of big metal plates for vehicles to pass over. With that steep slope and more rain coming, we were afraid we might end up with a slip-n-slide on our hands.” The closure will affect SEE CLOSURE, PAGE 2

American Water Works Association recently ranked Northeast Sammamish Water District’s drinking water among the best in the Northwest earning second place among all districts in the Pacific Northwest section. This is the third time the district’s drinking water has been recognized by the group. The Northeast Sammamish Sewer and Water District was formed by a vote of local citizens in 1969 and has been operating independently for
over 45 years. They are governed by an elected three member Board of Commissioners and serve about 10,000 citizens. The district’s drinking water has won numerous taste contests both nationally and locally and was again recognized as the best tasting drinking water in King County earlier this year.

OPINION
SAMMAMISH REVIEW
Letters to the editor Infrastructure lags as homes multiply Well, the trees are gone. We have yet another development approved. Another 115 homes, which equates to another 230plus cars trying to navigate on and off of the plateau. It seems to me that we should be considering widening the roads rather than adding stoplights at every development. We have been residents here for more than 38 years and can’t believe all the developments going in. Add two-plus cars for
every home. It takes twice as long to go anywhere on the plateau these days due to poor infrastructural design. We all want to live here, but good luck getting anywhere after you have arrived. The city’s answer is adding another stoplight, roundabout, or worse yet, an island between lanes that cost taxpayers to weed, trim and water? There are 10 ways off the Pine Lake Plateau, most of which are two lanes. The trees will grow again, more will be planted and developers will pay for frontage improvements, but what are
our elected officials doing to get our population on and off this wonderful place to live? While Conner and Jarvis are laughing all the way to the bank and the city is counting their increased tax revenue from all the new developments it has approved, someone should consider if this city called Sammamish will really be worth getting to and from? Wondering how long it will be before we all question whether it’s worth the effort. Bob Simonson Sammamish
City Council letting residents down The Sammamish City Council has failed its citizens! Why did we incorporate in the first place? A major reason was to prevent this raping of the land. Also, to limit the increase in property taxes which continue to rise at a rapid rate. The Sammamish City Council is not doing the job for which we elected them. Mitchell Cohen Sammamish

My 10 favorite summer trips around the state
I
don’t know about you, but by the time summer weather finally rolls around in western Washington, I’m pretty amped to shed my winter layers, get outdoors and savor the heat. Part of that annual ritual involves camping, beachcombing or simply reclining with a drink in hand at a picturesque hotel or inn. As a lifelong Washington resident, I’ve sampled a pretty wide variety of what our state has to offer in these regards. Here, in reverse order, I present my top 10 favorite summer trips within the borders of the 42nd state. 10. Harstine Island. Tucked away near the southern end of the Kitsap Peninsula, Harstine offers a great weekend getaway spot, particularly for groups of adults. Rent a house through VRBO or Airbnb or, better yet, check out the Hartstene Pointe
community, where guests can partake in sailing, tennis and a heated pool. 9. Palouse Falls State Neil Pierson Park. If you’ve rarely visited eastern Washington, you may not have heard of this gem. It’s way off the beaten path — the nearest town is tiny Washtucna on State Route 26 — but the serene campsites and lovely 200-foot waterfall are well worth the trek. 8. Tolmie State Park. Just minutes off Interstate 5 near Lacey, there’s not a ton to do here, but it’s my favorite place to bring the kids for clam digging. Just make sure you check the tide charts or you won’t be catching anything except Frisbees. 7. Westport. The trip out to this small beach community

south of Aberdeen is surprisingly long, I think, but you can make a day trip out of it if you leave early enough. Go wine tasting, stroll along the beaches, build sand castles and eat some fresh seafood. If you’re really brave, rent some nets and catch your own crabs on the boardwalk. Watch out for seals! 6. Wanapum State Park. A two-hour drive from Issaquah, it’s totally doable as a day trip, but I’d recommend camping for a weekend. There’s grass everywhere — at the campsites and at the huge park next to the Columbia River. The heat is ridiculous and you have to watch out for rattlesnakes, but you won’t care when you’ve got a frosty beverage and an awesome sunset. 5. Semiahmoo. My wife and I have grown to love this swanky but affordable resort that’s literally within sight of the Canadian border. Bring bikes
and look for bald eagles, go golfing or drive into Blaine for a visit with the friendly locals. The three restaurants on the spit offer top-notch cuisine. 4. Kalaloch. The only bad memory from my trip here was the speed trap set up by the Grays Harbor County Sheriff. You’ll want to make this a weekend camping destination because the view needs to be savored for more than a few hours. Campsites are wellkept and plentiful but fill up fast. Highly recommended for groups of adults. 3. Orcas Island. Yeah, waiting for a ferry isn’t my favorite way to pass time either, but the boat ride there is wonderful and the place is packed with adventure. Stay at the Outlook Inn, eat breakfast at Café Olga, hike Mount Constitution and finish the day at the Lower Tavern. If you go on a Saturday night, you’ll end up drinking pitchers and singing karaoke

with the islanders. 2. Chelan. I’m completely biased because I typically make two trips a year here to visit my aunt and uncle. Bring your dog regardless of the season because they’ll love the water or the snow. So much tasty wine. So much tasty food. Find someone with a boat or Jet Ski if you don’t have one. And if the kids get restless, take them to Slidewaters. 1. Sun Lakes State Park. I could write an entire column about the merits of this place. My dad and I started going here when I was about 12 years old and now I take my own kids. Swim, fish, hike, jump off cliffs. Drive north along Banks Lake and visit Steamboat Rock, then go all the way to Grand Coulee Dam for a tour and the nightly laser show. Contact reporter Neil Pierson at npierson@isspress.com.

that drive and that motivation to make it a big event.” Two successful pro tournaments followed as Sahalee hosted the 2002 WGC-NEC Invitational and the 2010 U.S. Senior Open. But Sahalee was a rather late selection to host one of five majors on the 2016 women’s tour. The course was chosen last June, giving officials roughly 11 months to pull everything together. Sean Riley, director of the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, said Sahalee was already on a short list of potential choices for this year’s event. “In this particular case, they were looking for previous PGA Championship venues, so they knew that this site was a good, attractive venue for the championship,” said Riley, a Tri-Cities native who grew up playing junior golf alongside well known Washingtonians like Brock and Paige Mackenzie, Alex Prugh, Ryan Moore and Michael Putnam. The visit yielded a resounding consensus — Sahalee was tournament-ready, meaning the course didn’t need any major changes, a credit to Superintendent Tom Huesgen’s

maintenance skills. “That’s the highest praise you can give a superintendent,” Riley said. The Northwest has a growing presence in the eyes of PGA players and officials. Having the annual Boeing Classic only a few miles away at TPC Snoqualmie Ridge has helped cement the area’s reputation. The links-style Chambers Bay Golf Course south of Tacoma also enhanced the region’s perceptions when it hosted
last summer’s U.S. Open. Riley expects those types of events will come to the Northwest more frequently and satiate what he calls a “golf-starved community.” “I think the Pacific Northwest is an area where you have core and avid golfers that really are passionate about the game, and they just don’t get the championships up here as often as they’d like,” Riley said. Sahalee is an instant contender for any major champi-
onship because there are few courses like it, he noted. “For me, it’s all about a major championship venue that’s unique,” Riley said. “It’s unique because of the Douglas firs and the topography of the plateau. When people come out here, they’re just shocked by the size and the grandeur of these trees.” Sahalee members deserve kudos for literally opening their homes to the players, Pike said. The club is the site of the Edean
Ihlanfeldt Invitational each fall, which includes the University of Washington women and several other collegiate teams. Residents who host the college players were the first ones called upon when planning began for the Women’s PGA Championship. “We have some members that are hosting two players and in that, there might be a family or a caddie that’s involved as well, so it could be five to six people,” Pike explained.

SAMMAMISH REVIEW
Skyline grad to risk life and limb aboard rickshaw for charity BY DAVID HAYES dhayes@sammamishreview.com
Skyline High School graduate Oscar Marczynski knows what he and four buddies are getting into. Sort of. The five University of Washington students have signed up for The Rickshaw Run, a 2 1/2– week excursion south across the subcontinent of India aboard a glorified 7-horsepower lawnmower Aug. 1-19. The organizing website’s own description of the race might scare off the less hardy. “No set route, no backup, no way of knowing if you’re going to make it. The only certainty is that you will get lost, you will get stuck and you will break down,” the website promotional material states. “It’s just you and your mates in a wholly unsuitable vehicle, traversing the subcontinent enduring whatever the road throws at you.” Click here to sign up. Marczynski didn’t hesitate. A veteran of summer vacation trips across Europe, Marczynski has long wanted to partici-
pate in the Mongo Rally, where participants drive from London to Mongolia Oscar in a beat up Marczynski car. “That’s been a dream of mine and what I was planning do this year, but my dad said, ‘Yo. There’s ISIS in that part of the world.’ And I realized you do have to drive through Iran,” Marczynski said. Marczynski was determined to go on one last, long excursion before he has to commit to getting an internship — he and his buddies are studying interaction design where they plan to work with developers to design aps. Then he noticed the Mongo Rally organizers also promoted the Rickshaw Run. “I was like, cool. That sounds just as fun,” he said. By fun if you mean driving a distance of Seattle to Chicago at 25 mph aboard a mode of transportation not designed for long distances on some of the world’s worst roads during monsoon season. Why ever would Marczynski and his
buddies want to submit themselves to such hardships — especially the exposure to diarrhea and malaria? For the kids and the rain forests, of course. The Rickshaw Run raises funds for the organizers’ charity Cool Earth, which fights to prevent deforestation of the rain forests. Marczynski and his team have chosen to give the other half of the money they raise to Seattle Children’s. They’ve set a goal to raise $6,000 through a Go Fund Me page. “The first $1,500 goes directly to them,” Marczynski said. “The next little bit pays for entry fees and vaccines. Then anything else goes back to charities and were splitting it 50/50 between them.” Marczynski said the team is combining their experience hopefully into one cohesive unit. Although he has no repair experience, another team member is a mechanical engineer and should be able to hand any breakdown repairs. One teammate also traveled across Europe last year and another has actually walked from

Skyline graduate Oscar Marczynski will be part of a three-man team driving a rickshaw like the one above across India in August for charity.
Seattle to New York City and bicycled from Seattle to Mexico for charity. “Cameron raised $11,000 for walk to New York,” Marczynski said. “He’s already got a network for that and we could tap into that for this.” As a team of designers, Marczynski said they’ve already submitted a pattern for organizers to paint on their rickshaw — a 1990s neon dinosaur collage. Thus their team name — the Designasaurs. As they travel, Marczynski expects they’ll be staying overnight a lot in cheap motels that should have Internet access, from which they’ll update their status to those concerned back home. “We’re going to put up a Facebook page so anyone can follow our updates. Some people have given us so much money, like $250, that we want to show them where their money is going, to share the experience with
them,” Marczynski said. All they need to do is get a motorcycle license before they leave to operate the rickshaws. It will be a tight squeeze getting all 6-feet, 6-inches of his frame inside the rickshaw crammed with two other adults. They’re expecting to break down every other day and to crash into things. “Everyone I talk to from India looks at me like I’m insane,” Marczynski said. Then there’s the wildlife. “I just heard there’s monkeys everywhere. A friend just told me we’re going to have monkeys climbing in our rickshaw. I’ve never seen one outside a zoo. So that’s going to be pretty cool,” he said. “There’s not many predators to worry about, unless we wander off into safari areas.” Not everyone is so keen on the idea. “I don’t think it’s hit any of us yet, except the

guy on our team from India. Every day he’s got his head in his hands, shaking his head and saying, ‘Oh my God.’ We’re saying, ‘Come on, man. It’ll be fun.’ And he’s like, ‘You guys have no idea what you’re getting yourselves in to.’” Marczynski does know as they travel from Shillong in the northeast of India to the southwest finish line in Cochin, they will have to travel through some dangerous areas. But he’s keeping a jovial attitude, as the event is held three times a year. “I’m not that worried, but I feel like I should be,” Marczynski admitted. “We’ll be driving through a state or region called ‘bandit country’ where people get robbed and shot. So we might actually die. We’ll see. Although no one’s ever died yet on the rickshaw.”

Brooke Henderson seizes first major LPGA title with playoff victory BY NEIL PIERSON npierson@sammamishreview.com
Two teenagers, both of them in the infancy of their professional careers, look like they’ll be the faces of the LPGA Tour for the next decade. New Zealand’s Lydia Ko, 19, and Canada’s Brooke Henderson, 18, couldn’t settle anything after 72 holes of golf at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship on June 12 at Sahalee Country Club in Sammamish. Henderson was trailing with two holes to play, but sank a 40-foot birdie putt on the par-3 17th to tie Ko at 6-under. She and Ko returned to the 18th hole to start a playoff, and Henderson sank another birdie from about 4 feet, capturing her second career victory and first major championship. Henderson, the world’s fourth-ranked player, kept top-ranked Ko from winning a third straight major. The kiwi won at last September’s The Evian Championship and the ANA Inspiration in March. “I knew I would have to do something special to beat her and I was able to do that,” Henderson said. Though they weren’t paired together
for the final round, Henderson and Ko staged a showdown that could repeat itself for many years to come. “I hope we have lots of extra holes like that or lots of times where we’re contending for the championship,” said Henderson, who became the youngest champion in the 62-year history of the event. Ko had two chances to win the tournament late in the final round but missed a pair of short birdie putts on the 16th and 17th holes. That gave Henderson the chance she needed and she took it, shooting a finalround 65 (6-under) that included four birdies and an eagle. Playoffs are a common occurrence at the Women’s PGA Championship, having happened five times in the past 11 tournaments. Ko already has a résumé that many of her more seasoned peers can’t claim. She was the world’s best amateur for more than two years, has won 12 LPGA events in less than three years and was named one of Time magazine’s 100 most influential people. She shot a bogey-free 67 in the final

SAMMAMISH REVIEW

round and took the loss with professionalism. “I played really solid today,” Ko said. “My ballstriking was good and I made quite a few good 3-footers for pars, so I’m happy with the way I played. “I just got outplayed and for Brooke to shoot 65 on the final day, at a major, at a course like this, it’s very impressive.” Henderson, who nailed a hole-in-one on the first day of the tournament, was one of six players who sat two strokes back entering the final round. The Canadian was in contention despite consecutive rounds of 73, pushing her back to even par. Henderson had a solid front nine on June 12, shooting 2-under, and put herself in contention on the par-5 No. 11 with an eagle that left her at 4-under and cut Ko’s lead to one. “I saw the leaderboard and I knew I needed to be better,” she said. “When that putt went in on No. 11 for eagle … it was a huge jump forward, a huge momentum changer.” Ko birdied the 11th but Henderson answered back with another on the par-3 13th.
DEAN RUTZ | The Seattle Times
Lydia Ko hits her fairway shot on the 10th hole of Sunday’s final round of the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship.
The native of Smiths Falls, Ontario, had only one LPGA victory to date, the 2015 Cambia Portland Classic. “There’s still three major championships left (this season),” Henderson said. “I hope to get my name on all three of those, but I won’t get ahead of myself here.” Sahalee, the site of four professional tournaments since 1998, hosted a women’s event for the first time. Thailand’s Ariya Jutanugarn, the No. 10 player in the world rankings, finished in
third place at 5-under, shooting 66 on the last day. Ko started the final round at 2-under, one stroke ahead of Brittany Lincicome and Gerina Piller on the par-71
course, which consisted of the front nine holes on Sahalee’s north and south courses. “This is a tough course and there was a lot of grinding this week, not just today, but the last few days,” Ko said. “I’m proud of the way I was patient out there, but still confident.” When Ko, Lincicome and Piller teed off for the final 18 holes, they were the only three players sitting under par. That quickly changed as friendlier pin positions helped lower scores. Lincicome quickly faded from contention as she bogeyed four of the first 10 holes to fall eight shots off the pace. Piller birdied Nos. 2 and 7 to keep within striking distances but bogeys on the eighth and 10th holes dropped her five shots behind Ko. Three-time reigning champion Inbee Park of South Korea didn’t make the cut, shooting 72 and 79 in the first two rounds.
